• User configurable parameters and control logic
• Configurable 30vdc 5A relay  (i.e. remote circuit breaker trip, contactor or fan)
• Additional inputs/outputs via Expansion Board purchased separately
• Compatible with all Expansion Board (series 1, 2, or 3)
• Clock with backup battery
• data logging of key metrics for 10 years
• firmware upgrades via USB
• 4 stage display of State of Charge (SoC%) 
• External ambient temperature sensor
• Easy to use pluggable screw-terminal connectors
• Link to Shuntmon with 500A or 1000A power rating 

Remote Communication

• TestMon - checks and confirms your wiring
  
• Expansion board
• 500A or 1000A Shunt monitor
• TestMon16
  
• Extra Support - email fair use is included free but if you need more help you can buy upfront or later on an as needed basis via Zoom or similar.

Optional Expansion Board (series 3) details

• 3 x Mechanical 30Vdc 5A relay outputs
• 3 x Solid state relay SSR 65vdc 5A isolated modules outputs
• 2 x Isolated inputs 5-65vdc sensor channel
• 2 x ADC 0-5vdc (future development option)
• 1 x RS485 Serial port (future development option)
• 1 x Remote Addressable LED (future development option)
• Compatible with all supervisors

Mounting a Fan

CellMate-K9 has been designed to allow a 60mm Fan to be mounted to enhance balancing performance if customer desires. 

Fan and standoffs not supplied.

• M3 screws to mount Hex standoffs to the CellMate-K9
• Standoffs should be 30mm height in order to clear the heat sink.
• Fan hole centers are 60mm apart.
• Fan power can be triggered by the logic of the WatchMon CORE 
• Adopt one of the Relay/SSR to switch the fan power.
• Fan selection is a customer choice, Voltage (12,24,48,5V) etc.
• Fan is not to be powered from the onboard 5V DC-DC of the WatchMon CORE
